Creative hearts, skilled hands, & inspiring minds, meet our featured artists

 In a world often captivated by expansive landscapes and bold exterior scenes, Margaret Martin invites us to look inward—into rooms, corners, and quiet arrangements filled with personal meaning and luminous light. A lifelong painter with a formal background in fine art and education, Margaret dedicates half her studio time to exploring the evocative nature of interior spaces. In this interview, she shares why these subjects matter, how they differ from traditional still life, and what it means to her to paint from the inside out. 

Many of Margaret's works reflect her love of landscape, but some reveal the 'inner landscape', through use of the ancient Mandala form, rendered in colour pencil. Additionally she represents the architectural interior as a regular subject in her acrylic paintings.

​

Margaret is a graduate of Fine Art (Specialization), University of Guelph, and hold a Degree in Education from Queen's University (teachable subject visual art). Margaret is now retired from a teaching career, which included teaching art to youth, children, and adults.
